Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

31
Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...

Acute Coronary Syndrome I: Introduction01:30

Acute Coronary Syndrome I: Introduction

94
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) encompasses a spectrum of heart conditions caused by sudden obstruction of coronary arteries, typically resulting from the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent thrombus (blood clot) formation. This obstruction can lead to partial or complete blockage of blood flow, causing varying degrees of myocardial ischemia or infarction.ACS includes the following clinical entities:Unstable Angina (UA)Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)ST-Elevation...

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction

41
Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:27

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

518
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Susac syndrome (SS) is a rare autoimmune condition affecting the eyes, brain, and ears. Early recognition of characteristic retinal findings is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Susac syndrome (SS) is a rare autoimmune disorder impacting the eyes, brain, and ears.
  • It is an uncommon cause of recurrent branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report cases of Susac syndrome.
  • Highlight clinical presentations, therapeutic options, and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series.
  • Analysis of demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes for SS patients between 2005 and 2020.

Main Results:

  • Four patients (3 female, mean age 29) with definite or probable SS were studied.
  • All patients exhibited Gass plaques and arteriolar wall hyperfluorescence with BRAOs on fluorescein angiography.
  • Residual symptoms included scotoma (n=2) and hearing loss (n=3) despite treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants.

Conclusions:

  • Susac syndrome presents with characteristic ophthalmological manifestations, often as the initial symptom.
  • Retinal findings like BRAOs can be the first sign of SS in young patients.
  • Ophthalmologists should consider SS in young patients with BRAOs.
